Another of those classic quotes from Kold-Kallous-Kate, whose parents have recently started new careers as street vendors.
"I can't imagine how we came out as a family of five and could be going back as a four."
First of all you went out as a group of five. Your idea of a family unit is on a totally different wavelength to community standards. Your idea of "Family" is a collective bunch of tawdry hangers-on, opportunists and good-time-Charlies - the ones you protect and who protect you.
The family does not include your children, the only ones in the sordid McCann family who lacked - and continue to lack protection and care. Your children never have and never will be your priority. Through all of this, all you two have ever thought about is yourselves. So cut out the touchy-feely image projection, no one is buying your tainted goods or deceit-laden messages any more.
Your little sojourn to Portugal was never about a family holiday. That is why you dumped your children at every opportunity - so that you could focus on the real agenda of Carry On Up The Algarve.
The reason you went back as a group of four is because for reasons at this moment best known to yourselves, is that you appear to have gone out of your way to make sure your children were left in a position of danger.
Drop the "other parents" do it routine, if they do - then they are as criminally negligent as you. The only difference being is that if the same scenario had happened to them, they would not have had the media and official protection that you have been afforded.
Incidentally, if I were you, I'd tell Gerry to get a pacemaker - he is acting and looking even more like a bad tempered little pub-thug. Gerry doesn't cope very well with pressure does he?
Hope you like the photo Kate, my mum put that up on the fridge - with a strategically placed cow.
She can be a bit sarcastic at times my mum - but at least I am still alive.
